IND vs BAN Updates: India’s Struggling Start in Test Series Against Bangladesh
Brief Scores: India 176/6 (Yashasvi Jaiswal 56, Rishabh Pant 39; Hasan Mahmud 4-35) vs. Bangladesh.
The much-anticipated Test series between India and Bangladesh has begun, but India’s start has been far from ideal. The Indian team faced early setbacks, losing three key wickets within the first 10 overs, leaving fans disappointed.
Bangladesh's Strong Start with the Ball
Bangladesh won the toss and opted to bowl, making early inroads into India’s batting lineup. Hasan Mahmud was instrumental in causing trouble for the Indian openers. He got his first breakthrough by dismissing Indian captain Rohit Sharma for just 6 runs in 18 balls, caught at slip.
Shubman Gill Departs Without Scoring
The third major blow came when Virat Kohli, returning to the side after a long break, was caught behind by Liton Das off another excellent delivery from Hasan Mahmud. Kohli fell for just 6 runs, repeating his old mistake of chasing an outside off-stump delivery. India’s score now stood at 34 for 3, putting them in a tough spot.
Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant Steady the Ship
With three early wickets down, hopes rest on Yashasvi Jaiswal and the returning Rishabh Pant, who is playing his first match after 634 days. The pair is currently batting well, and all eyes are on whether they can guide India out of this shaky start.
